We are changing the music industry

Viberate is a crowdsourced live music ecosystem and a blockchain-based marketplace, where musicians are matched with booking agencies and event organizers. We're listing profiles of over 150,000 artists, 2,000 booking agencies, 60,000 venues and 500,000 events.

With Viberate we can enhance and change the music world using blockchain technology and we are building the whole community around that.

I’m very excited to see how Viberate is going to disrupt the music industry and measure the taste and the response of the public to different artists.

We would like to thank everybody who put their trust in our vision and contributed to the crowdsale.

OUR VISION

… is to revolutionize the way musicians are presented and booked as well as to open the world of live music to everyone.

We intend to do that by decentralizing the discovery and booking processes with the use of the blockchain technology.

The 4 Elements of Viberate

The biggest curated live music database in the world

We started off as a simple ranking service for DJs. Over the years, we've expanded to all music genres and professional roles.
Each artist profile is furnished with all available social media links and is chart-ranked based on the artist's social-media popularity. This, combined with the use of filters, such as country or genre, makes the discovery process easy and efficient. To provide the analytical part of our content, we analyze over 200 billion data points per year and turn them into easy-to-understand KPIs.

A decentralized community-based service, fueled by the Viberate token (VIB)

Viberate has always been a community-based service. To give back to the community, we developed a reward protocol enabling users to earn VIB tokens in exchange for their contribution to the service. The VIB token is the core unit of our service that we intend to turn into a go-to digital currency for the music industry in general.

The entire music ecosystem in one place

Viberate is the first service to cover all aspects of the live music industry. Our database includes musicians, music venues, events, booking agencies and event organizers. Our user group stretches from musicians and other music professionals to fans and the media.
Our entities can use their profiles to easily introduce themselves to either the general public or a targeted audience. The profiles are also equipped with contact information that enables users to interact with one another and thus pursue different business opportunities.

The first ever blockchain-based live music marketplace

With the database and communication channels in place, our platform enables the implementation of a live music marketplace.
Event organizers will be able to pick musicians on the basis of the social media metrics and book them directly through our service. The two parties will be able to review each other. The blockchain technology will be used to negotiate terms (smart contracts) and transfer payments (escrow).
On the platform, the organizers will also be able to sell tickets (via DApp) without intermediaries. On top of that, fans will be given a chance to sell their purchased tickets on a secondary market.

Business Models

COMMISION ON MUSICIAN BOOKINGS

Today, 20% of musicians are represented by booking agents that usually get a 10-20% commission on each booking. By enabling the opportunity to book every musician in the world, regardless of genre, country and popularity, Viberate will act as a de facto booking agency for all musicians with a profile on Viberate.

SUBSCRIPTION AND VIB USE

Apart from musician bookings, Viberate enables several other interaction possibilities as well. The interactions that are not subject to commission will be available for purchase in the form of subscription packages or in exchange for previously earned Viberate tokens (VIB).

ADVERTISING

Musicians will be able to expose their profiles in different charts. Exposure will be bought with ETH or Viberate tokens (VIB). The terms, such as the duration and price, will be defined in smart contracts.
Once paid, the smart contract will trigger the exposure of the artist’s profile on the agreed position and for the agreed time. The price will be set automatically, based on current demand for the respective position.

Ticketing

Listing hundreds of thousands of events on the artists’ profiles, Viberate has the unique opportunity of tapping into this multibillion-dollar market. Paper tickets are giving way to the electronic ones, and to go a step further, we intend to implement a blockchain-based ticketing service, where we will charge a commission on every ticket sold through our system.

3rd Party Integrations

Viberate's analytical content provides insightful information for several different outlets, such as the music media, streaming services, larger booking agencies and other services that could benefit from extensive music analytics. We will charge a monthly cost per integrated profile or a monthly lump sum for the use of the whole database.
